This latest book in the series contains key lectures given at two of the most recent conferences held in London.

Other chapters within this important book cover vital issues including advances in the biology of obesity; the causes and consequences of the metabolic syndrome; glycaemic index and load as weight loss strategies; health promotion in the family and breaking down barriers; emerging dietary risk factors for CVD; probiotics and implications for everyday advice; wholegrains and health; bone health and the acid-base balance; inflammation and polyunsaturated fatty acids and nutritional approaches to the treatment of depression. Further chapters include diet and cancer – what do we really know; nutritional benefits of pre-biotics introducing the pre-biotic of wholegrain wheat; food and behavior; nutrition and immune response; diet and cognitive function; safety of acrylamide; upper safe levels of intake for nutrients and related substances and the CREST guidelines for the diagnosis and management of Coeliac Disease. Chapters with key practical implications and solutions include; a local proactive approach to improving weight management in primary care; lessons from school nutrition workshops in Birmingham; protected mealtimes – involving therapists on the wards at mealtimes; The Diabetes UK Store Tour; and experiences from the Diabetes X-PERT programme.
